Well folks, I finally did it.

My husband is notoriously very hard to shop for. He has a very particular taste and he shops all the time. Usually he's "been there, done that" and after being with him for many years I have basically given up trying to buy him gifts.

But this Father's Day I did it!

Yup, I finally found a gift that he didn't have, nor did he even think of (thanks CityLine -Fashion Friday)

This is  the  ultimate luxury my friends - check out these shoe laces!

This is a collection of 3 sets of coloured laces, one pocket square and one flower label pin. I went conservative and picked the "Wall Street" collection - but you can go wild with the hipster collection.

Since Jp has a beautiful collection of dress socks filled with fabulous colours and designs -  I thought "what is better than to dressing up his shoes?" The company is called Stolen Riches (love the name too) - and I recommend the next time you're looking for a gift for the guy who has everything - this might be your solution.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Today it's pouring rain in Vancouver and it's pretty quiet out here, normalcy is returning.  I am still unpacking from my trip to Whistler earlier in the week. Jp, who travels regularly, was unpacked within an hour of getting home, suitcase put away. Me? Nope, I am still sorting everything out and managed to get the lawn mowed last night before today's rains. Today is laundry day. And thanks to the rain, there will also be 1 full load of towels used to dry off my very absorbant dog.

Eco stayed with the neighbours while we were away, which I'm sure is great fun for her since they have a dog about the same size as her and they enjoy rough-housing on a daily basis. As well, my neighbours allow dogs on their furniture and on their beds, and so Eco quickly adapts by taking over a couch and sprawling out. She is smart enough to not even attempt this behaviour upon her return to our house.

Tomorrow is Father's Day and so The Kid is cooking his dinner - I told him he had to pick the food and I'd buy the ingredients. He chose Fettuccine  Alfredo and cookies, so I'll be 'supervising' him on the cooking and baking.

And that's it for now, a pretty normal rainy weekend. I'll post more about Whistler soon.
